I want to install the math package.
I tried
apt install tcl-math
but that doesn't work. Does anyone know the correct name?

you mean, then unless Ubuntu chops Tcllib up into individual modules,
you'd want to install tcllib.

package require math
However, on my ubuntu (actually pop-os, but that's ubuntu)
[1357]$ rlwrap tclsh
% package require math
can't find package math
% package require Math
can't find package Math
% package require tcllib
can't find package tcllib
% package require Tcllib
can't find package Tcllib
% package require Thread
2.8.4
I couldn't run [package require Thread] either until I did:
# apt install tcl-thread
which if I do again, it says this
tcl-thread is already the newest version (1:2.8.4-1).
So, that's when I tried:
# apt install tcl-math
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package tcl-math

That is the Tclkit math package.

Does the Ashok tclkit you use bundle Tcllib into the kit from the
start? If yes, then that is why it works inside the tclkit. And given
that it works with the kit, that looks like the kit bundles Tcllib.

only Slackware so the only answer I have is "search for how to install
tcllib in ubuntu".

(available for several distros), that contains a *collection* of *Tcl*
packages. Installing tcllib (eg 'apt install tcllib' under Debian flavors
[including Ubuntu] or 'yum install tcllib' under RedHat flavors [RHEL, CentOS,
Fedora, etc.]) makes available these *Tcl* packages (available via 'package
require'):
